The New Orleans Hornets were one of the biggest surprises in the NBA last season. With 56 wins, which is the best record in franchise history, they will be a team to look out for. Also, for the first time in Hornet history, Chris Paul managed to take the team all the way to the Western Conference Semi-Finals where they ultimately lost to the veterans in San Antonio.

However, with the acquisition of 2-time champion James Posey and with an additional year’s worth of experience on their backs, will the Hornets perform even better this coming season? To continue the success of the franchise, the Hornets have also unveiled the new uniforms that the players will be sporting during the 2008-09 season. Do you like them better over the previous ones?
